In 1989, when the Old Selectmen’s Building turned 100 years old, the Historical Society of the Town of Barnstable leased the building from the Town and restored it to usable condition  This was a labor of love for all involved and completely funded by private donations.  The Historical Commission is pleased to have the Historical Society use this unique Victorian structure, now on the National Historic Register, for the following series of art shows.

We hope you will visit the Old Selectmen’s Building Gallery and support the artists who choose to exhibit here.  The exhibition season at the Gallery usually runs from mid-May to early November.  The 2012 season has been abbreviated because of restoration work on the building’s foundation which will begin in early fall.

The small fee that the artists pay to exhibit at the gallery along with a small percentage of proceeds from the artwork sold goes directly to the maintenance of the building. 

If you would like to support the efforts to maintain and restore the building, contributions (made payable to the “Old Selectmen’s Building Fund”) may be sent to Old Selectmen’s Building Fund, c/o the  Town of Barnstable, Growth Management Department, Town Hall, Main Street, Hyannis, MA 02601.
